A Hypothesis about the Physical Nature of the Phenomenon of Life (A Contribution to the Discussion of the Paper by G.R. Ivanitskii 21st Century: What Is Life from the Perspective of Physics)
Authors: A. M. Smolovich
Abstract: A macroscopic quantum state that is characterized by an energy gap in the electronic spectrum and occurs in organic structural components of the cell is hypothesized to provide a basis for the phenomenon of life. The width of the band gap has been estimated. The possibility of detecting this energy gap in an experimental study is discussed.
